Using your garden as a tool for enhancing core subjects like math, science and social studies is one of the most rewarding benefits of having a "living laboratory". Sometimes, making the connection to state standards or feeling confident about gardening is a challenge. Here are some upcoming learning opportunities for teachers, students, parents and community leaders. If you need to catch up on physical gardening techniques or get some tips on how to wrangle 30+ students in the garden, there are workshops and experts available to help!
